CONNECTICUT PLAYERS.

Records of Some Eastern League
Players-Petttt the Star Hitter of the
International League.
1t will be interesting perhaps to lovers of
the national game to know what records some
of the players who were in the Eastern
league this season up to the time of the dis
banding of the league have made elsewhere.
The International league has closed and the
records of the players is given. Petit, who
was with the Waterburys and then sold to
Wilkesbarre, was the star hitter of that
league. His batting average was .437. ice
Battin, who did SO much talking for the Wa
terburys, has batting average of .244 with
the Syracuse Stars, Steve Brady of the Jer-
sey Citys .27s, Joe Brown .3O7 and Brill very
near the foot, 1927.
Of the eighteen third basemen Petit rank
ed sixth in his fielding average. Joe Brown
in the field made almost as good record as
he made in this league. He stands third
among the forty-four outfelders, his average
being .951. Brady at first base ranks tenth
among the fourteen first basemen, and "Al-
derman" McGuirk twelfth, .952. Joe Battin
did good work at third base for the Stars and
stands third.
Brill was the only one from this league
who went to pitching in the International
He did good work, too, as while in New Ha-
ven his arm was in such condition that he
could not pitch. There were thirty-three
pitchers in that league and Brill ranked ff
teenth, the per cent. of base hits made off
him to times at bat by opponents being .31S,
the best average being 1856, by Hughes of the
Newarks.
Steve Brady has been reserved by the Jer-
sey Citys, Joseph " Battin by Syracuse, and
Frank 81. Brill by Wilkesbarre.

A VALUABLE MAN.
The Late Hon. Alfred Harger of OK


R0 AABO HON. Auf00 Haf&GE OF OK
ford.
OXFORD, Oct. 12.-The late Hon. Alfred
Harger of this place, eighty-three and one
third years of age, was in his day one of the
foremost men of the town. He represented
the town in the General Assembly as repre-
sentative in 1916 and as senator in 1851. He
was honored in turn by an election to about
every Office in the gift of the town. He was
natural mathematician and for years county
surveyor. He enjoyed the credit of introduce
ing into Oxford the Baldwin apple and the
tomato. He planted the Early Rose potato
when he had to pay a dollar pound for it.
He not only successfully planted the chit,
but in several instances he divided the chit,
getting growth from both parts. He was
greatly interested in the mulberry tree, Gull
turing it to his financial loss.
He made much of his district school, using
the public money but adding enough to it to
procure for a series of years academy teach
ers. About one-half of the school year he
gave the teacher his board, furnishing him
a study for himself and for the more adj
vanced children of his own family He
claimed that it afforded him pleasure to board
the teacher and that it was a good invest
ment. The result was that two of his sons
went to Yale from his district school house
Oscar Harger of Yale, class of 1868, is one of
the sons. And those of his children who did
not go to college were superiority educated.
And the district abounded in scholarly young
women and young men. To-day this district
is dissolved through lack of pupils The
Hon. Mr.. Harger was for years a temperance
man and an exemplary member of the Con-
gregational church. He attended church to
the last, seeming to highly prize every oppor-
tunity to appear in the courts of the Lord.
Apparently he lived the life of the righteous
and died his death. OF all the persons resi-
dent of the Hon. Harger's district forty years
ago the only one living there to-day is Mr.
Erastus, Wheeler.

TWO YOUNG WOMEN

From New Haven Get Into trouble.
Yesterdays Springfield Republican says:
Two young women who claimed to have
come from Rochester, N. Y, and that they
had their pockets picked, spent last night at
the police station. They came by way of New
Haven and one of them said she had $40 left
when she bought her ticket to this city, and
that is the last she saw of the money She
does not know whether it was stolen OF lost
They were bound for this city to visit a
friend named Nolan, but the friend came to
this city after June, and therefore the name
was not in the directory, and all efforts to
find her were futile. They were given into
charge of the police matron ,and their friends
will be looked for to-day

The Interest I'm Special Session for
the Abolition of Grade Crossings
Growing Rapidly.
Governor Lounsbury is being very much
pressed to call an extra session of the legis-
lature to take action in regard to the aboli-
ton of the grade crossings and the appoint
ment of expense for the work involved in
their abolition.
The town of Stamford has instructed its
selectmen to oppose in every way the taxing
any part of the cost of changing grade cross
ings in that town. The town of Madison
has Just voted to ask the Governor to call an
extra session of the legislature. The public
authorities of Norwalk express the earnest
hope that every town in the State will take
similar action in pressing upon the Governor
the importance of calling immediate ex-
ira session of our legislature.
The whole matter is in the hands of Gov-
ernor Lounsbury, and that he will take such
action as in his opinion, after consultation, will
be for the best welfare of the State, there
can be no doubt.

Deputy Sheriff Higgins yesterday served
papers on Secretary William D. Bishop, jr.,
of the Consolidated road. in a suit brought
by James w. Coogan of Hartford, counsel
for Edwin L. Bennett of Meriden. Near the
road is high steep embankment. The writ
alleges that in the evening of November II,
1885, this embankment was not provided
with suitable light facilities or suitable rsil-
ing to protect passers-by from the danger OF
walking off. On that evening the plaintiff
fell down the embankment and sustained
lasting and incura5le injuries to his spine
and back owing to the criminal negligence OF
the railroad company to furnish proper safe
guards. The nature of his injuries he claims
to be SO serious as to prevent him from. car

suit is made returnable at the next term OF
